To all whom it'may concern:

A specification describing certain Improvements in Horse Corn Hoes or Cultivators, invented by JOHN B. LANG, of Ithaca, Tompkins county, New York.

My object 'is to simplify, make durable and convenient the cultivator or shovel corn-hoe in common use, and the nature of my improvements will be apparent as I describe them.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my corn-hoe.

Fig. 2 is a rear View of the same.

In Fig. 1, a is the beam of my hoe, similar to a plow-beam,and b the handles, and c the metallic curved standard, to which is attached the shovel-hoe e, and which standard is fast,

by the screw 01, to the beam a. At f is seen one of two rear hoes attached to a wooden rear. The Y- shaped metallic frame is more clearly seen, holding the handles, rear standards, and rear end of the beam. At m and m" are holes in the top of the standards for the adjustment of height, and at K K are two crossbars, meeting just below the end of the beam in the lower part of the frame I, and, by the holes in their ends and by a burr on a bolt in the same, holding the standards at any convenient distance apart.

I Claims. I claim- 1. The frame 6, when secured to the end of the beam or, in combination with the adjustable standards h h and braces k k, substantially as shown. A

2. I claim the combination of the rearward extension of the beam at fromthe shovel-hoe c to'the Y- shaped frame t, of the said frame 43, and of the handles b b, making the braced and mutual supporting frame-work of the beam, frame, and handles, as set forth.
